using your knowledge of cross products how would you solve for x in the following pair of equivalent fractions 7 over x equals 2

/4

Use cross multiplication so you have

7/x = 2/4

multiple 7 and 4 to get 28 and multiply x and 2 to get 2x and set them equal to each other

so your new equation is 2x=28 and then you just need to solve for x

The answer is x=14

Find the width of a rectangle 25 feet and the perimeter is 80

lukranit [14]

$\huge\underline{\red{A}\blue{n}\pink{s}\purple{w}\orange{e}\green{r} -}$

Given - <u>a </u><u>rectangle </u><u>with </u><u>length</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>feet </u><u>and </u><u>perimeter </u><u>8</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>feet</u>

To calculate - <u>width </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>rectangle</u>

We know that ,

$\bold{Perimeter \: of \: rectangle = 2(l + b)} \\$

where <u>b </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>width </u><u>/</u><u> </u><u>breadth</u> of rectangle

‎ ‎ ‎

<u>substituting</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>values </u><u>in </u><u>the </u><u>formula </u><u>stated </u><u>above </u><u>,</u>

$\bold{80 = 2(25 + b)} \\ \\\bold{ \implies \: 25 + b = \cancel \frac{80}{2} } \\ \\ \bold{\implies \: 25 + b = 40 }\\ \\ \bold{\implies \: b = 40 - 25 }\\ \\\bold{ \implies \: b = 15 \: feet}$

A liquid at temperature 7575F is placed in an oven at temperature 450450. The temperature of the liquid increases at a rate 77 t

hichkok12 [17]

Answer: $\dfrac{dT(t)}{dt}=77\times (450-T)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The temperature of the liquid is $75^{\circ}F$ placed in an oven with temperature of $450^{\circ}F$ .

Initially difference in temperature of the two

$\Delta T=450-75\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=375^{\circ}F$

According to the question

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{dT(t)}{dt}=77\cdot \Delta T\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dT(t)}{dt}=77\times (450-T)\quad [\text{T=75}^{\circ}F\ \text{at t=0}]$

nicole and adam are each saving money for a car. the total amount of money nicole will save is represented by the function f(x)=

Natalija [7]

They will have the same amount of money after 7 weeks.

We first set these equal to each other:
36+4x=x²+15

We want to gather all of the variables on one side. Subtract 4x from both sides:
36+4x-4x=x²+15-4x
36=x²-4x+15

We want the equation to be equal to 0 to solve it, so subtract 36 from both sides:
36-36=x²-4x+15-36
0=x²-4x-21

We can factor this expression. We want factors of -21 that sum to -4; -7(3)=-21 and -7+3=-4:
0=(x-7)(x+3)

Using the zero product property, we know that x-7=0 or x+3=0; this means x=7 or x=-3. Since a negative number of weeks makes no sense, the answer is 7 weeks.
